Controlled blood pressure lowering during spinal surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a technique called controlled hypotension, where your blood pressure is intentionally lowered during spinal surgery to reduce bleeding. The goal is to see if this method makes surgery safer and improves recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your doctor considers you a healthy or moderately healthy person (ASA I–III).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 40.
- Your usual blood pressure is below 140/90 mmHg.
- You are scheduled for spinal surgery that involves 2–4 levels of metal hardware.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder, do not take blood thinners, and have not had spinal surgery before.

This study looks at how blood flow in your fingers relates to low blood pressure during knee surgery. It may help doctors better manage anesthesia for future patients.
This study tests special ways of analyzing blood-pressure recordings during major surgery to better understand why some people develop low blood pressure (hypotension). If you have high blood pressure and need invasive blood-pressure monitoring, your surgery team will use readings to study patterns that may help predict or prevent low blood pressure.
This study tests whether personalized blood pressure management during and after major surgery can reduce complications and death in older adults with heart or blood vessel risks. It aims to find the safest blood pressure targets for each patient.
This trial tests if noninvasive blood pressure cuff measurements before surgery can help predict low blood pressure during surgery for people having non-cardiac surgery.
This study tests whether a special computer tool (called the Hypotension Prediction Index) can help anesthesiologists keep your blood pressure from dropping too low during major abdominal surgery. By using this tool, doctors hope to reduce the risk of low blood pressure during surgery and improve safety for older frail adults.
This trial tests whether keeping blood pressure at 85 mmHg or higher during surgery can reduce confusion (delirium) after surgery. It is for older adults with high blood pressure who are having non-cardiac surgery.
